RE: Street encounter- Hong Kong May 2012 G Military

Very interesting. I have not heard of the "G Military" model before. I ass=u=me that it is a W461. Did you happen to notice? It's too bad you didn't get some interior shots through the window. Thanks for posting.

I think is a W461 too. Interior of the G is like this in the photo.

RE: Street encounter- Hong Kong May 2012 G Military

Right hand drive too - pretty rare for a civilian W461

I guess its possible a HK/China dealer (or even Mercedes) is branding these as "G Military"
About the only vehicle you can get which could legitimately say this...

Very nice.

I think it has 18'' rims. But it looks beautiful.

Re: Street encounter- Hong Kong May 2012 G Military

I know this is an old thread (apologies!) but I'm new and only just come across this.

Going on the cost of G's these days this one must have cost the owner an absolute fortune as the car importation tax rate goes up to 90%, thereby almost doubling the cost! Can't say there's much chance of taking it off-road in HK either :D

Mind you the place always was full of ridiculously expensive cars!

Re: Street encounter- Hong Kong May 2012 G Military

Correct -- 'military' stickers added locally, not original.

Interior pics of the dealer's demo truck here: http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=16611&start=...

Registered as commercial light goods vehicle = 17% tax. Cost is much less than a new G500 in the US, which is priced about the same as a new G350 in HK. http://www.mercedes-benz.com.hk/content/hongkong/mpc/mpc_hongkong_w...

Re: Street encounter- Hong Kong May 2012 G Military

Dutch -- to answer your question, it is indeed a W461.

Nice G. Honestly have not seen one like that on my previous trips to HK before. Interesting hood (bonnet).
